Chapter 1335 - 186. Is it enough? (Second update)_2
"She! She’s actually so close with that little wretch?" Cheng Yuexiu slammed the carriage door hard, trembling with rage. She had gone to such lengths to get close to Ma Xiaonan, even going so far as to ingratiate herself, and yet she had never managed to make Ma Xiaonan be as affectionate with her. Look, what has Lin Yuan done? She managed to make her as happy as if she had seen her own sister-in-law!
Sister-in-law?
Cheng Yuexiu was horrified by her own thoughts. Yes, the intimate way those two were acting, wasn’t it just like that of sisters-in-law?
Biting her lip hard, Cheng Yuexiu decided she no longer had the heart to watch the scene before her. Flinging the carriage curtain aside, she plonked down in the carriage, her resolve to have both Ma Junying and Ma Xiaonan in her grasp growing even stronger.
The banquet lasted almost three time periods, and it was only in the late afternoon that guests began to leave one after another.
Of course, in order to retain the many distinguished guests of the day, Lin Yuan had come up with a shrewd little trick, which was to present each guest with a signature pastry from Dong Tian as they left. These pastries were the same ones she had sold back in Zhuma Town, Rice Flower Fragrance. Because there were so many pastry shops in the Capital city, and because Lin Yuan was now too busy to tend to another shop, she moved the pastries into Dong Tian.
The pastries given out today were small portions, with only six pieces in each little box, but each had a different flavor. There were the most common mung bean cakes, red bean crisps, and osmanthus cakes, as well as rose cakes and chestnut almond crisps exclusively sold at Rice Flower Fragrance, and even glutinous rice cakes shaped like the twelve zodiac animals.
With the delicious food they had enjoyed and free pastries to take away, the guests who had come to the banquet were absolutely delighted.
